Beefeater Blood Orange Gin

This isn’t a new gin flavour as such, but it is a newbie to Beefeater.

Whitley Neill Pink Grapefruit Gin

Happy Gin Wednesday! Gin has certainly exploded and you can pretty much buy it anywhere, and in any flavour. I’m relatively late to the gin party and only really started enjoying it a couple of years back. Whitley Neill Pink Grapefruit Gin is a newbie, and I first spotted it in Asda back in February. Originally this was nestled amongst the Valentine’s display but does not appear to be limited edition. This was exclusive to Asda, both in-stores and online, however you can now find this online on other drink outlets. RRP is £25.00 but is usually on offer in Asda…
